Skiing in Canada in July?? We returned to Canada expecting to escape the cold Tasmanian winter in exchange for a lovely, Vancouver Island summer, but that was not what we got! Temperatures were at record lows for the time of year, and it had been such a cold spring that Mt Washington actually opened for skiing over the Canada Day long weekend!

Josh and Lynda could not miss out on this rare summertime skiing/boarding opportunity!

This was our one and only capsicum (or bell pepper, for you North American readers).

And, just for fun, another pavlova:I can't remember anymore, but I think we were given or came across all these berries for a very good price. Fresh berries are normally very expensive in Australia (blueberries obscenely so...think $8.99 for a 150g punnet!), so this was total luxury!

Welcome to our travel blog. Our amazing trip through Latin America came to an end in December 2009 and we are currently living in Australia. However, we will continue to publish posts every few days until we are caught up.
